Greene County’s advisory board met and handled a series of routine administrative items, approving minutes and a financial report while discussing facilities repairs and vendor contracts.

The board began with organizational business and unanimously approved a motion to accept and waive reading of the Oct. 30 minutes. The financial report that followed noted higher user-fee receipts this year and falling trash-disposal costs; the presenter said he would correct a cash-balance line and reissue the statement after a voided December check was resolved. “We do still have some money available” in the county’s tire-recycling grant, one member said, and the board agreed to close out the current grant before applying for another.

Board members discussed a scope to replace 16-foot overhead doors on county facilities. Members asked whether the replacement doors would include electric openers and manual override capability after a recent power outage stranded equipment; a presenter confirmed openers and overrides would be included and said legal counsel would help finalize contract language. The board discussed a procurement timeline aiming to finalize scope for the February meeting, advertise and open bids in March and award in April if the schedule holds.

The board then addressed an electronics-recycling contract with GreenWave Electronics. Several members said they had positive experience with the vendor; one member suggested checking with the county IT staff (named in discussion as Gary) before switching vendors. An unidentified member moved “to continue the contract with GreenWave Electronics,” and members proceeded with the motion and second.

Members also moved to keep the current citizen-advisory committee membership unchanged and voted to continue the same meeting calendar for 2025; both motions were seconded and carried by voice vote as transcribed. The board adjourned after hearing no public or employee comment and set its next meeting for Feb. 26 at 9 a.m.

Votes at a glance: The transcript records voice motions and approvals on the following items: acceptance of Oct. 30 minutes; approval of financials; motion to continue the GreenWave Electronics contract; motion to retain current citizen-advisory committee membership; approval of the 2025 meeting schedule; motion to adjourn. Specific recorded tallies by member were not transcribed for these voice votes.

Context and notable details: The financial report included references to year-to-date fee increases tied to parcel fees and cited reduced trash-disposal expenses; several numeric lines in the transcript are garbled and were not usable for precise dollar balances. The meeting included practical, operational questions about equipment access and vendor service continuity rather than policy changes or budget reallocations.

The meeting record names several participants only by first name in spoken remarks (for example, Marvin, Greg, Gary and Matt). The transcript does not attach formal titles to those names; attributions in this summary use the same names as spoken when cited and otherwise rely on unidentified speaker labels where no name was given.
